In the corner of the small hospital room stood a shy little girl. “You shouldn't be in here, honey”, my mother said as she nudged me out of the room where my grandfather lay dying. At the time, I couldn't understand the enormity of the situation. Ignorant to what was happening around me, my innocent mind fled with curiosity.

This is the moment that sparked my desire to become someone great; a nurse.

I have always known nursing was the career for me, but my interest in it really peaked when I started doing clinical rotations at Angleton Danbury Hospital. Just seeing the people around me devoted to taking care of others really inspired me to do the same.

In Nigeria, I had a first degree in animal science and one year post graduate in Public Administration. I got married at the age of 29 to my husband who was a medical doctor. I became fascinated about what goes on in the hospital and how nurses and doctors related to their patients in a compassionate and patient manner. Since then I started developing interest in nursing. Sometimes I end up helping my husband to prepare food for the patients when they don’t want or like the food served to them at the hospital. I also keep the patients company when I am free. I realized that what some of these patients need is them talking about themselves without them being judged. Just sitting and allowing them to talk is very therapeutic to them.

However, I am also thoroughly interested in conducting clinical research that seeks to continuously improve the quality of care that is provided. Therefore, I look forward to working with patients and other health professionals while allotting equal time to teaching and conducting research.
